You know brah, what was hard in that video was that my 2 year old daughter was napping on the couch when I did that set.
She actually woke up after that set. I felt bad, but Poppa had to get his Deadlifts in!

And again speechless..............

Thanks man. Trying to be the best I can be. Hard work is part of it.

Aloha,

Once again Nice videos! No Big Ben lifts though....

waiting for Zack to pull that stiff leg deadlift was like waiting to hear an update on the Iron contest IV

Man, I can't stand when Zack does that.
He always does that on heavy lifts, and I keep telling him that in Strongman you don't have the luxury of time to get set. If the referee blows the whistle, you better get ready to flip that "kill" switch and go.

Its just a habit of his though, so what can I do.

Big Ben was lifting while me and Seath242 were squatting, so we were kinda swapping out times of filming/cheering each other on.
Big Ben did post his compilation video on the "Seattle Animals" thread though...the octopus story is true!

I watched them there and could hear you guys in the back round.
I really want to thank you guys for these videos, they really help me because I hear you guys in the backround giving advice on proper lifting technique, something I was never taught, just learn from books. So this videos are really really helpful for me.

As for Zack, dude he is looking huge! Since I have met you I have been watching his progress, he is definitely putting on size!

Respect,
